Mexico: Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1742 Mo-MF AU58 NGC,...
Description
Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1742 Mo-MF AU58 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM148, Cal-2245, Onza-439. An incredibly flashy and attractive example of an always in-demand type. With nearly Prooflike reflective fields and incredible cartwheel luster adorning both faces, Philip's majestic portrait stands pronounced, emboldened by a deep firm strike and exceptional preservation of detail. This delightful near Mint State quality coin, despite bearing a rather modest grade, likely due to slight friction wear on the central most curls of Philip's bust with a few contact marks in the obverse fields, exhibits overall exceptional quality. Boasting such impressive appearances that seem unlikely for a coin this age, and a reverse virtually free from any signs of circulation or wear, this specimen is certainly a choice example and representative of its series.Metal: Gold
